Just In:Mckenna Grace Rushed to the hospital in a critical condition
Straight Lies, a new psychological thriller directed by Alex Kalymnios and produced by Mandalay Pictures, will feature Emmy nominee Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters, Handmaid’s Tale) as the lead and executive producer. In North Carolina, production is expected to start this summer.
The movie takes place in 1990 during the fervor surrounding the war on drugs. The script, which was written by Ren Trella and was based on real-life incidents from her adolescence, advanced to the semi-finals of the coveted Academy Nicholl Fellowship in screenwriting.
In Straight Lies, a teenage girl who is wrongfully convicted of drug use is imprisoned against her will and forced to leave a government-sponsored drug recovery center that resembles a cult, while her father, a secret CIA agent, loses himself in politics to the point where he fails to recognize the danger his daughter faces.
